Joshua vs Whyte on box office.
Joshua vs Whyte on box office.
So Eddie Hearn has decided too place Anthony Joshuas fight with Dillian Whyte onto ppv. Personally I think this is ridiculous. I mean sure its got Spike vs Eubank Jr but I don't think this event is ppv worthy. What does everyone else think?
Re: Joshua vs Whyte on box office.
If people buy it in big enough numbers then it is PPV worthy.
I won't be buying it, but plenty of others will.

I don't think I'll be buying it, I just don't think the cards good enough.

Now this has gone to ppv I will make a prediction, either Whyte or Joshua will pull out injured in the run up.

Re: Joshua vs Whyte on box office.
Can see the thinking for making it a PPV. There's "name" appeal for the general Sky Sports viewer. I think however it sets a worrying precedent for the future if this is considered PPV worthy for Joshua. Just wait til he fights opponents who are actually noteworthy.

Time to vote with your wallets...
Re: Joshua vs Whyte on box office.
Knew this was going to happen. Hearn loves too squeeze every penny out of every viewing customer.

Check out Whyte's record, there is no way on gods green earth he belongs as a headline pay-per-view fighter.
Re: Joshua vs Whyte on box office.
2 weeks after Fury's fight , no thanks from me. As that Tory MP said if things get tight then stop paying for TV and this will be one card I can do without. A load of bums being knocked over is not PPV worthy
Re: Joshua vs Whyte on box office.
Was it Eddie's decision or Adam Smiths? Matchroom presumably already had the fighters signed up, so the PPV decision would more likely have been made by Sky. Pure Sky greed at the expense of the sport we love. This show should be on in bars up and down the country, and not restricted to PPV. Short termist bastards.LGilsenan wrote:So Eddie Hearn has decided too place Anthony Joshuas fight with Dillian Whyte onto ppv. Personally I think this is ridiculous.

Nowhere near interesting enough for a PPV, especially 2 weeks after a proper PPV fight. I definitely won't be buying.

Enough of the mugs will pay for it though. The types who photograph their tickets or their Sky Box office screen in the hope of an Eddie Twitter retweet. It's madness.

Re: Joshua vs Whyte on box office.
Sticking Josh Warrington and Luke Campbell on and then telling them they can't have any tickets is a new low for Eddie. I'm sure he's not thought about the tens of thousands of extra buys those two will generate though...

Re: Joshua vs Whyte on box office.
If Wlad does Fury early which is very possible it will affect this quite bad.
Absolute joke this card.

Re: Joshua vs Whyte on box office.
This is like sky making Chelsea/Qpr a ppv just because they don't get on then chucking leeds against some non league side just to make up the viewing figures. Imagine the reaction if this was to happen.

I'd assume £19.99 or something along those lines.afcmarshall wrote:Have they said how much it will cost yet?

No no and no!
Re: Joshua vs Whyte on box office.
never thought I would see the day, a british title fight ppv
Re: Joshua vs Whyte on box office.
would like to see this show but just cant let myself pay for it, why on earth this needs to be ppv is beyond me, the fighters cant be getting paid that much surely ? and if thats the reason just pay them less, they are still learning the game for gods sake.
